I've noticed this year we get alot of fast rushes (breakaways, odd man rush etc), and I was wondering if other teams are just messing up bc early season or are we creating those changes. Everyone thinks oh Sutter hockey is boring and defensive but these guys are using their speed, stretching the defense and really pushing the puck up the ice with intention.

And it's both ways.
The backpressure is allowing the defensemen to step up to the red line instead of the Calgary blueline, closing the gap and completely killing the other team's ability to counter or transition.
They don't look like a lot of fun to play against these days.
